Cider and Sliders

Yesterday was too beautiful a day to waste by eating indoors. Coincidentally, Cider and Sliders was happening at Nine Pin Cider, so we caravaned down to Broadway and tucked into some nifty little bites.

Ciders and Sliders is the collaboration between Nine Pin Cider and Slidin’ Dirty food truck. Patrons can enjoy one of Nine Pin’s cider offerings (or a sampler flight of what’s seasonably available) and a slider or two and a few freshly prepared cides, er, sides.

We settled on sharing the Dirty Pig (pulled pork with fried onion and coleslaw) and the Old Faithful with beef. It was hard to pick a favorite, as both were generously portioned and incredibly flavorful. The great news is that Nine Pin has recently been granted a license to offer outdoor seating for patrons for the rest of the year. That means that imbibers can enjoy a crisp, refreshing cider out in the sun, with a lovely view of Nipper.

Ciders and Sliders is one of those LEE’s (limited eating engagements), and two dates are all that are planned for the rest of the summer: July 10 and July 24 from 4pm-9pm (or as supplies last). Nine Pin’s tasting room is open Thursday and Friday from 4pm-9pm, and Saturday from 1pm-9pm. Appointments for tastings and tours are also available.
